    This paper deals with best proximity points of mappings \(T\) with no fixed points, that is, mappings for which the equation \(Tx=x\) does not need to have a solution and then the interest is to find such points \(x\) minimizing \(d(x,Tx)\). The typical situation in this paper is a mapping \(T: A\to B\) where \(A\) and \(B\) are non-empty subsets of a complete metric space such that \(\text{dist}(A,B):= \inf_{x\in A,y\in B}d(x,y)>0\). \(A\) is supposed to be closed and \(B\) approximatively compact with respect to \(A\). Results obtained here are for the so-called generalized proximal contraction mappings of first and second kind and, at least formally, they extend some other recent results on best proximity points for proximal contraction type mappings.
